Academics

From preschool through 5th grade, our teachers carefully craft curricula around the cognitive and social–emotional needs of their students. Students question, investigate, iterate, and explore. Challenge, creativity, and choice are woven into each unit.

Admission

Welcome!

Meeta Gaitonde

Director of Admission

I’ve worn almost every hat at PBS except Head of School – so far, anyway ;). PBS has been my second home since 2002, when I started as a 3rd-grade assistant teacher. Since then, I’ve been a lead in 3rd and 4th grades, a substitute teacher, a learning specialist, a long-term librarian substitute, the educational technology and innovation specialist, and now the Director of Admission. Most importantly, I’m a parent of a PBS alum in the Class of 2017 and a 3rd-grader. It’s obvious that this place has become part of who I am, and I am thrilled that I get to share my love of PBS with so many prospective families.

Admission Associate

Having worked in the Admission Office for a little over three years now I have had the privilege of witnessing first-hand the uniqueness of the community and each student within it. The values and love of learning have been infectious, and I am proud to have the opportunity to share this with incoming families as they take on this new journey for their children.
